You may have heard through the grapevine that we have hired a new Park Ranger for Highfields and the Forest Rec' so say hello to Danni!

We'll let her find her feet for another couple of weeks but please keep your eye out in the New Year for volunteering sessions and events at Highfields and the Forest Rec!!
